Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast.

0:28.5

I'm your host, Madeline, and today we do not have Kenna.

0:32.4

Kenna is out. This is week two of Kenna being out for a little four-week breaky,

0:36.6

but we do have a very special guest host, my best friend, Kennedy.

0:41.2

Hey! That's Kennedy. So,

0:47.2

Kenna will be still active on the Patreon. So our two bonus episodes this month on Patreon will still feature Kenna and Kenna is still answering your messages like normal over on Patreon.

0:51.6

Just need a little break from the main episodes for a while.

0:58.8

The only other thing I want to talk about before we really get started here is just to let you know, as always, my book is still available for pre-order. If you haven't pre-ordered it yet,
